The Bamfs!
(A Weird Low-Stone Count Superhero Fantasy Game)
Manhattan is a city full of mysteries. There are strange things lurking behind every corner and beneath every shadow. Such is the strange and mysterious lives of THE BAMFS! A race of extradimensional teleporting blue furred fey-like creatures, this is the story of a clan of Bamfs who have been stranded very far away from home on an island called Manhattan. Trapped in a world they didn't make, they forever seek a way to return home to Bamfworld, while protecting their new home city from the supernatural, the extradimensional, and those things that go bump in the night. The Bamfs may seem like stealthy little extradimensional criminals, but that's only because they have very loose definitions of property ownership. However, they are creatures of their word, honorbound to clan pride.
My inspirations for this game are, primarily, things like Gargoyles, the webcomic Goblins, the Smurfs, Watership Down, and the darker and weirder corners of the Marvel Universe, a mix of grim grittiness with tongue in cheek cuteness.
Character gen is a bit strict. Basically, you have 5 stones + max 3 in additional challenges to add to the skeleton sheet presented below. You can use those to increase any of the pre-existing scores from these stones, in addition to buying new actions. I want to emphasize you guys working together as a team, so I think it would be awesome if you tried to focus on a certain role or personality. I don't want a team made up entirely of grim ninja-assassin Bamfs, I'd really love to give them a sort of pseudo-Norse fair folk vibe but am not enforcing it super-strictly. Ask me before you take something that resembles a superpower (like Mastery of Magic, for example) or pushing your Agility past 6.
I'm looking for about five players, but if I get enough cool concepts, I'll probably take more.
